Clementine and Edward Steal a Painting

Eau de Parfum 50mL I $150

Immortelle, Geranium, Olibanum

It is 1:37 AM at the Grand Hall. Clementine and Edward stand before a still life. The tableau, once hung marvelously on the wall, is now being raced through the marbled gallery rooms, whiffed in a fragrance of divine mischief.
“Take my hand, and, plunge!”

The idea was to create a composition whose deep base accords evoke the whirlwind of fragrances gathered in a gallery room, the mingled perfumes of passing guests. The top notes bring the moment two friends, hand in hand, sprint through the great big museum. And that it became.

A marvelous gourmand-fougère, Clementine & Edward reveals a subtle sweetness, with restrained notes of immortelle, oud, black pepper, liquor, and jasmine.

A fragrance of art and friendship, the two marvelous pleasures of life.

"C&E is composed to be atmospheric and dreamy, as requested by Ms. Millais to hold the feeling of sprinting through a museum with your friend(s). It is complex, diffused, warm and slightly sweet."

I'm always intrigued by fragrances that have weight to them. This is the warmed air of a semi-crowded museum in the late fall full of rich people and tourists whose expensive scents are carried on the wind they create as they walk by - reminds me of taking trips to the MET for class assignments! This opens with a warmed, almost sunny citrus before warming up further into something more honeyed and smooth, but still a bit green at the edges. It has a density and a presence, as if there is a body inhabiting the space. I've heard fragrances be described as "perfumey" before, but this takes that idea and makes it feel lived in. The notes sound as if they would be incredibly loud on paper, but here they are turned down to a muted whisper. Somehow the scent still manages to create a decent bubble around me when I have it on. Perfume, but as you experience it on the warm skin of another. I've never experienced a scent that takes me outside of myself in such a way. Pairs well with Gods Wait to Delight in You!

Smelled like black licorice for a second, but sat on my skin and changed into such a sweet, deep, rich, slightly boozy, woody scent. Such a sexy scent to me.
